I competed in and completed the 1984 Kona Triathlon World Championships. My goal is to be back 40 years later in 2024! Semper Fi & Agape to all Ironmen and all! OOOOOOH-RAH!!!!
I was in Kona with you in 1984! Did it again in 1986 on the Air Force Team. At 68 I'm going to watch you on TV. I'm doing 5K & 10K's now. Ed - best wishes! Greg
The Goal came from Watching Magnum PI Original in the 1980's Era!...It grew with Athletic We endurance maturity in Training & Charity Goals & Contributions that help so many others. This is a Serious Challenging Human body Event!..*To achieve something in the *That's Impossible Category! (🏆)..*The inspiring Legacy it leaves on People..*The Video is exceptional on RUclips!.I encourage all & any to watch it sometime!
if they can do it you can do it. just believe you can. no matter what your circumstances are you too can do it. all you need is to believe in yourself. maybe one day you too can call yourself an iron man. and that day you will have met a totally new you you never knew. RIP Terry Fox! gone but not forgotten
Kona is without a doubt the most beautiful triathlon of them all, so much culture and such an amazing experience. Well done on yet another amazing video.
From one Ironman to everyone out there....we have a saying in the triathlon world. It's not you CAN do this. It is "You WILL do this!" Now get out there! Swim, ride your bike and run, run, run!
As soon as I seen Brownlee was in the mix I thought the other guys had no chance. Little did I know, Ironman is whole other event to regular triathlons. Not even close
While watching this video, I cried multiple times. I am an overweight 26 years old guy and I promise, one day I will run in one of the iron man races 🥺💜. Love from Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India. ❤️
No amount of exercise can you lose weight dude, no need to cry, just do intermittent fasting and lose the weight, you go vegan you will need supplements....
@@fredwpf why go vegan lol. And idk what youre talking about burning calories is the only way to lose weight. Eat the same or a little less and burn more calories than you eat. Pretty simple
when i see that i always get goosebumps although my start and finish was a long time ago (2006 and 2009) This was my most emotional part and great experience for me of my life. 👍👍👍👍 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Just lost 25kgs from 115kgs, ans deciding to be an ironman, those four words “you are an Ironman” and these emotions made me cry and fuelled my hunger to be an ironman
I competed this race in 1984 and Ironman Hawaii is as empowering and spectacular now in 2021 as it was then. Every Ironman triathlete should have the opportunity to take on the challenge of Kona. Unforgettable no matter how long it takes you to finish..
My first tri, Ironman 1982 kona, never forget. 9:32....at age 35... i was amazing and these new people are truly amazing.. The entry was only about 125$ hahaha Now its big money to play...
my entire Respect to all these three times Champions, I am excited and I was delighted to see them Succeed all 🏊♀️🏊🏿🚴🏻♀️🚴🏼♂️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️👏💪Congratulations
This documentary is a masterpiece. Exceptionally well done. Brought tears into my eyes and at the same time has re-fueled my drive and dedication to train better than ever and set a goal for 2022. I will become an Ironman!!! Future me, watch!!!!!
I’m training for my first sprint triathlon. Today I just completed a 5k race, a 15 mile bike and 1/2 mile swim (not in succession). I’m tired and sore. I can’t fathom what it takes to complete the Kona. I’m not 10 minutes into this and I’m teary just knowing how f’n hard it must be.
good luck...........all the best........give your best so you will be an ironmann..............for your kids you mean the world to the and will be the best father whatever happens, even if you dont cross the line before midnight !!! sorry for my bad englih language, hope you can understand what i whant to say and fell as a dad of 2 little children!
I qualified last week at Ironman Cairns, I paid my money but ill probably have to pull out as we arent allowed to travel from Australia yet :( Ive been trying for 12 years. Hope they let us defer or ill have to qualify again!
Very inspiring journey from a black male HOF basketball player to a white female triathlete, goes to show what you can achieve if you just put your mind to it
Probably fast out of the gate for the first 2 miles, but avg 6:15-6:20 pace is more realistic for a 8hr Ironman (2:35 to 2:50 hr marathon). Jan probably wanted to create some distance because a leader in view is tantalizing motivation for the people behind to run faster haha.
This is hilarious because the beginning sequence is talking about unity and how we can only do it together but now Iron Man has decided to completely separate men and women which is the opposite of unity and doing it together
Is Brownlee entering the postponed 2021 as Olympics will be pushed back 1yr ? Hope so. Hope he has trained for IM. More than enough potential to win 😁👌
This moved me to tears. I am 61 and I have decided to train for this.
You can do it, man!
Let's go!
Never to late i heard a 90 year old woman did it 45 times
It's not as easy as it looks.
you can do it
LET"S GOOO J.V.!!!! Dive into the Unknown.
I appreciate the announcer for filling in so I’m not simply watching without commentary.
What a beautiful race day summary for KONA 2019
That dude, Roderick Sewell, man he made me cry😢 What a legend! He could be everybody's idol. Love you, man❤️
This is the best video of an IronMan. And I promise myself. I Will be there. Sooner? Later than i think? I don't know. But I will be there
I was doing weights and crying at the gym lol the story lines are weaved in together nicely
I competed in and completed the 1984 Kona Triathlon World Championships. My goal is to be back 40 years later in 2024! Semper Fi & Agape to all Ironmen and all! OOOOOOH-RAH!!!!
Hope to see you there!

Love the way he runs with those blade he was like flying. God bless you my brother
I have never been so inspired.
30:30 What legends Kelly and her husband are. You, my dear make my heart sing. God bless every single inch of you.
I cried due to inspiration and motivation
Absolutely TOP documentation of this event. Perfect in all: Sound / Pictures / Sequences / Moderators Voice / Content - simply excellent!! Well done - Chapeau & Thank You!
Damn.. this is a nice production. Kudos to Subaru.

I get so emotional when I watch these amazing documentaries!
Remeber this and do not forget. Anything is possible.
Ok
Oh boy I feel ashamed watching this while eating a Big Mac. Gotta start working out again. This is more than enough motivation!
lol
After I finish this delicious Big Mac ..
I bet these dudes and ladies wanted a big mac some fries and a coke after they were done 🤣
Can’t help but get emotional!
As soon as I seen Brownlee was in the mix I thought the other guys had no chance. Little did I know, Ironman is whole other event to regular triathlons. Not even close
Amazing event and one of the world's most beautiful places. We have been lucky to attend many times to support our athletes. Mahalo
While watching this video, I cried multiple times. I am an overweight 26 years old guy and I promise, one day I will run in one of the iron man races 🥺💜. Love from Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, India. ❤️
You can do it man just start with one step like a 5 Min. Run! Then make it 8 Min. etc.
No amount of exercise can you lose weight dude, no need to cry, just do intermittent fasting and lose the weight, you go vegan you will need supplements....
...mate, you do not know what you are talking about...
@@fredwpf why go vegan lol. And idk what youre talking about burning calories is the only way to lose weight. Eat the same or a little less and burn more calories than you eat. Pretty simple
@@fredwpf wont need supps either bro youre weird. Good food contains everything you need
Gratitude is a powerful thing
Not going to lie, I definitely teared up. Every victory has a great journey. This was really moving.
Me too. I like big-business/high-finance, so it was cool for me too see the CEO of VEGA cross the finish line.
All I can say is when Lucy Charles finally breaks through and keeps it together on the run.....she will just dominate
And she will. One of best athletes in the game.
Hope she can do it asap 🙏
when i see that i always get goosebumps although my start and finish was a long time ago (2006 and 2009)
This was my most emotional part and great experience for me of my life. 👍👍👍👍 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Roderick is such an inspiration. I find myself in tears watching especially the ending. All those people digging deep to finish the race.

I was there with you in 1984. A neighbor is doing the 2022 Ironman at age 71. We are fortunate to have experienced this. I am so grateful.
I really hope that Jan will never retire ,if he does all of us will be very sad
We are sad now 😢. What an athlete he is/was
My first tri, Ironman 1982 kona, never forget. 9:32....at age 35... i was amazing and these new people are truly amazing.. The entry was only about 125$ hahaha Now its big money to play...
Love this coverage! Not even a triathlete (just a runner) but this is super entertaining. Well done Subaru, well done.
So fun to watch. So thought provoking. Like all of you, I tear up too when I watch this.
my entire Respect to all these three times Champions, I am excited and I was delighted to see them Succeed all
🏊♀️🏊🏿🚴🏻♀️🚴🏼♂️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️👏💪Congratulations
So sad it's postponed this year. :( I worked on production for 18 yrs.
Is it rescheduled or cancelled? They just ran the PCB one.
Truly amazing. Gratitude and self belief. God bless us all.
The weather doesn't scare Frodissimo... Frodissimo scares the weather
I don't know why I am rewatching this, but I am.
metoo lol
Omar Abid methree lol
Christian Navarro oh Christian i am a Navarro mais je suis français et sûrement pas de la même famille tu vas rien comprendre je suppose 🤣
This is great. i needed this.
This documentary is a masterpiece. Exceptionally well done. Brought tears into my eyes and at the same time has re-fueled my drive and dedication to train better than ever and set a goal for 2022. I will become an Ironman!!! Future me, watch!!!!!
Do it!
always insane how fresh Jan looks
take what you have and do what ever you have. that hit me so hard
Amazing, I hope to be there racing in the near future. As a filmmaker and triathlete, there's no better piece of content I've seen before. Great job!
And the heat is no joke in kona blazing hot that sun is something else
Moving indeed, beautiful stories
We need more Videos like this in the Triathlon szene!!!
Amazing documentary! Bravo!, love it
How can you not get emotional
I don’t know if I could ever make it to qualify for Kona, but this video gets me so hyped to train for my races coming up in the next 5 months
I'm crying at the finish line... the pain is over
I’m training for my first sprint triathlon. Today I just completed a 5k race, a 15 mile bike and 1/2 mile swim (not in succession). I’m tired and sore. I can’t fathom what it takes to complete the Kona. I’m not 10 minutes into this and I’m teary just knowing how f’n hard it must be.
We was there last year and i am crying 😭😭
I can't wait for my kids to hear them words on the red carpet when I cross the line. 1 year to go
Brian got Melted - Cancer to Ironman Journey Good Luck Mate!
Having the audacity to believe in yourself (hope) is half the battle. : ) : )
Best of luck!
good luck...........all the best........give your best so you will be an ironmann..............for your kids you mean the world to the and will be the best father whatever happens, even if you dont cross the line before midnight !!! sorry for my bad englih language, hope you can understand what i whant to say and fell as a dad of 2 little children!
Good luck man, you will officially be one of the toughest people on earth
I decided I wanted to do a baby triathlon after completing the David Goggins 4X4x48 challenge and this video is so motivating.
This story is so touching.
This is a promise to the future myself: I'll be there, and I'll be a Ironman!
Ill be there with you man 🤙
I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!!
Good luck man!
You can do it! 💪
Let’s go!
Frodeno is the GOAT
I qualified last week at Ironman Cairns, I paid my money but ill probably have to pull out as we arent allowed to travel from Australia yet :( Ive been trying for 12 years. Hope they let us defer or ill have to qualify again!
Thanks for the recent upload. Didn’t happen last year which is good
That was a goddamn tear jerker.
Thanks, Subaru!
Epic! Always gets me motivated on my individual journey
Very nice coverage. What a competition !!
Roderick Rocks!
LCB pulling back 2nd here was a gutsy thing to witness
I love this 😍🔥
I love the aloha in this video 💙
In 2025, I will be there and race for my 13th Ironman. 🏊♂️🚵♂️🏃♂️
You Got this! 👏🏽🙌🏽
Mad respect for Roderick!
I never heard Lucy Charles-Barclay or Lucy Charles called Charles-Barclay at first I thought the announcer just blew it, lol!
I'll get there eventually.....
I just wish once, just once, they could get Elmur Fudd to narrate one of these.
Charles Barkley wtf
Very inspiring journey from a black male HOF basketball player to a white female triathlete, goes to show what you can achieve if you just put your mind to it
😂
hahaha I read your comment before watching and was like wtf!
Outstanding video. Very inspirational !!!
Super inspiring video! Well put together!
Roderick Sowell!! You're the man!! What a performance
**Sewell**
That was amazing!
Did he say 5:30 per mile on the marathon (28:29)? Is that a mistake? Jesus, that's phenomenal
Probably fast out of the gate for the first 2 miles, but avg 6:15-6:20 pace is more realistic for a 8hr Ironman (2:35 to 2:50 hr marathon). Jan probably wanted to create some distance because a leader in view is tantalizing motivation for the people behind to run faster haha.
@@aaronstrange4927 here I am running a 4hr marathon with no bike no swim rip
They finally posted it 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Mike Reilly you’re the voice& soul of IM spirit
I will be there!
tears
Gd morning. Inspirational documentary! Kelly Hill & Roderick Sewell are awesome!
One day. I hope not too distant.
This is hilarious because the beginning sequence is talking about unity and how we can only do it together but now Iron Man has decided to completely separate men and women which is the opposite of unity and doing it together
Id love to take part in an ironman one day but first i wanna run half a marathon and build from that
It's great being able to watch this with the power to skip all the dramatic/commercial crap!
This is great! Thanks all strog mens and weamens, you are the best in the world!
I love this video series all iron man
The Narrator is the Real MVP
amazing athletes.
Are earphones allowed ?
If i had music ill finish even stronger
Amazing people !!
I love all athlete @ sports lovers they know how to keep themselves n all aspects idol
Ohana! Kona 2019.
Incredible!
Is Brownlee entering the postponed 2021 as Olympics will be pushed back 1yr ? Hope so. Hope he has trained for IM. More than enough potential to win 😁👌
20:08 thought he was gunna say: “daniela ryf”
